Role
Who you are
- This role is perfect for a mid-level designer or creative producer who’s ready to own the look and feel of a fast-growing SaaS brand, someone who thrives where design, data, and persuasion intersect
- 3–5 years of experience in design, motion graphics, or creative production (B2B or SaaS experience preferred)
- Advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere/After Effects)
- Working knowledge of Figma, Canva, or similar web design tools
- Strong portfolio demonstrating storytelling, layout design, and brand consistency
- Video editing and animation experience required
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
What the job involves
- The Creative Lead will own the visual identity and storytelling craft behind Swayable’s brand marketing materials. You’ll bring consistency, polish, and creative energy to everything we produce. At Swayable, creativity meets evidence. Our platform helps the world’s top brands and agencies understand what truly persuades people through science, data, and storytelling. The Creative Lead will bring that same spirit of curiosity and precision to our brand expression
- This is a hands-on, high-impact design role where you’ll translate research insights and data into clear, compelling visuals. From sales presentations and case studies to landing pages, event activations to social content, and video storytelling, you’ll ensure every touchpoint looks sharp, feels consistent, and reinforces our message: great creative should be tested, trusted, and backed by science
- This is not an agency art director or creative director role. You’ll design, edit, animate, and produce. You’ll collaborate with marketing, sales, and leadership teams to elevate how Swayable shows up across every medium, driving design systems, refining our brand voice, and producing short-form videos and motion graphics that make our ideas move
- Develop and maintain a consistent visual and brand identity across all marketing channels
- Design high-impact presentations, case studies, white papers, one-pagers, and event materials
- Create engaging social media and digital ad assets aligned with campaign goals
- Support product marketing and sales enablement through well-designed collateral and visuals
- Edit and produce short-form videos (event recaps, case study highlights, product explainers)
- Work within Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and/or leading video editing platforms (Premiere, After Effects, Final Cut Pro)
- Design landing pages and visual assets for digital campaigns, ensuring responsive and high-conversion UX
- Partner with content writers, marketers, and sales leaders to bring ideas to life visually
- Manage creative timelines and asset delivery to keep marketing production moving fast
- Maintain a shared design system and asset library to accelerate content creation
Our take
Campaigning, whether for a brand, a charitable cause, or a political office, is getting harder by the year. Siloed demographics, patchy data, and bad market research means many messages aren’t getting through - something that Swayable is looking to change.
The company essentially runs randomized A/B testing on campaign videos to see which is the most persuasive for their clients. Swayable pulls demographic audiences from sites like Facebook, Amazon Mechanical Turk, and Fiverr, and returns analysed performance results to its customers within 12-24 hours.
This kind of rapid-turnaround market insight is crucial for organizatinos looking to fine-tune their messaging. It won the company itself good business, too - Swayable began with Y-Combinator, and has gone on to score a remarkable slate of clients including the Biden Harris campaign, Amazon, Airbnb, and Paramount.
Swayable’s express commitment to truth-telling and fighting misinformation is a smart play in today’s climate. With an impressive team of physicists and founders at the helm, Swayable is in a strong position to continue winning big business.
